We're not massive fans of electric coal-powered cars here on Jalopnik, but that's mostly because electric cars are usually flimsy, slow commuter vehicles. There is a huge potential for electric cars, though, and it's in your hands.

We're talking about regular cars with the regular internal combustion engines torn out and replaced with batteries and electric motors. The world's quickest EV is a BMW E30 (above) with an electric drivetrain. It's built by Rimac in Croatia, who also make that 1,088 horsepower electric supercar.

An electric Miata commuter would be great if I could keep the weight down and distribute the batteries' weight. I can deal with no air conditioning or heat.

Added weight would be a penalty, but custom electric sports cars sound awesome. Now we just need to get more garages to help design and build super quick electrification conversions to show Nissan how an EV is really done.
